Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

EEE vs CE

I've done a lot of research but can't seem to decide yet cause I need a much better understanding of the two. I still don't know if I should choose Electrical and Electronics Engineering or Computer Engineering.

I know I wanna work with stuff like CPUs, smartphones, nanotechonlogy and miroelectronics basically. Building and manufacturing etc...

Which should I go for? I like hardware much more than software but I'll be interested in creating software although I'd be interested in learning it on my own as well if studying it through a course would mean losing some hardware info. But generally I wanna work with stuff related to embedded systems and computers (not just a PC, smartphones, tablets etc...)

These are the courses in my country, and although I tried looking through them I have little to no idea what they mean...

EEE:

CE:

Help would be greatly appreciated because I have no idea what to do at this point...

Thanks a lot in advance!

Either tbh. With eee you can definitely go into this kind of industry given they developed from eee but you may find it a bit easier to go into other areas of engineering with an eee degree, where as ce is slightly more specialised and may limit your options should you one day decide electronics are not for you.
